Hello everyone

Hey all!  I have enjoyed fishing since I was a little one targeting bluegill, but more recently I've gotten into kayak angling.  I bought myself a Sea Eagle fta385 inflatable since I lived in an apartment with tiny elevators that would never fit a hardshell and I enjoyed the heck out of it.  I added extra rod holders and a fish finder and caught a few bass in local Bay Area freshwaters.  I then decided it was time to try saltwater and man it was exhausting with any wind I was out of energy fast, so I stuck to freshwater wishing I could head out to the ocean.  2 years later I finally got a new place this time with a garage! so I stopped by the California Canoe and Kayak shop and picked myself up a 2022 Hobie Outback and I couldn't be more happy with it.  I've had it for 1 week now and took it out on the delta for it's maiden voyage and hooked up on some decent striped bass trolling an a-rig.  My next goal is to try to catch a fish launching in Santa Cruz or Half Moon bay!  I hope to see you all out there!

Welcome to the community.   

Thanks everyone, today I also got to chat with some folks who also had Outbacks loading up to head home in Santa Cruz today and they all got some halibut outside of the harbor which is good to hear!

Welcome aboard, Brad.

Nice kayak, Mr B. Hope to see you on the water...
